since updating to Mac os 26.0.1 my M4 mac mini sometimes cant wake from sleep without restarting - if I manually sleep it usually wakes but if I just walk away it often but not always won't wake up with touching any keys, mouse etc

Mac mini, macOS 26.0

I wholeheartedly agree with den.thed on no sleeping. There have been so many issues with sleeping with the recent systems that I don't sleep my M4 Mini. I have the screensaver kick in and then go black after a set time. I shut down the Mini at night and when I leave the building (yes, Elvis has left the building). It only takes about 15 seconds to boot up that shutting down is not an inconvenience.
